Rotten tomatoes scores aren't an average of a bunch of vectors, they're an aggregation of binary data points. Each individual review is distilled down to "good" (100%) or "rotten" (0%), then they're all averaged up. A better way to view the critic score is, "X% of film critics think this film is worth watching." And the audience score is: "Y% of moviegoers who leave movie reviews on Rotten Tomatoes think this film is worth watching." This is why Toy Story can get 99% (it's a crowd pleaser), and why daring, impactful films can sometimes get lower scores (they can be polarizing). |
